Pre Storm at Indian Valley

Bigleaf maple, black oak and riparian grasses were glowing along Indian Creek in Plumas County as today’s storm arrived, yesterday.

Plumas County color spotter Jeff Luke Titcomb drove CA-89 through the Indian Valley to report the color was hot before the storm. Some 0f it will blow away this week, though most is likely to remain after the storm passes.

Seen on the hillsides above and beyond Indian Creek is snow from the previous storm. The purple-brown trees on the hills indicate burn areas of the Dixie Fire which devastated this area last year.
